Answer:

x =1 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x−1/5x=x−1

Multiply by 15 to clear the fractions

15(2/3x−1/5x)=15(x−1)

10x - 3x = 15x -15

Combine like terms

7x = 15x -15

Subtract 15x from each side

7x -15x = 15x -15x -15

-8x = -15

Divide each side by -8

-8x/-8 = -15/-8

x =15/8

x = 1 7/8

Could somebody please answer these four questions with simple yet explanatory answers?

Kamila [148]

1) Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh)
2(4*5+4*9+5*9) =202in^2
Surface Area=202in^2
Lateral Area= Perimeter of base * height
5+5=10 <--width+width
4+4=8 <---length + length
10+8=18 <--total perimeter
18 * 9=162in^2 <--multiplied the height +perimeter of base
Lateral Area=162in^2

2) Same concept as the previous one
Surface Area = 2(lw + lh + wh)
2(4*2+4*5+5*2) =76in^2
Surface Area= 76in^2

Lateral Area
Lateral Area= Perimeter of base * height
4+4=8
2+2=4
8+4=12
12 x 5=60
Lateral Area= 60in^2
